Technical Exploration of High-Resolution Optical Detection System for Ultra-Low Orbit

Currently, aerospace activities are becoming increasingly frequent, and investment in research and development of the aerospace is constantly increasing. Especially in the United States, the “Starlink” program occupies a large amount of airspace, leading to a saturation of the use of space orbit resources. In response to this reality, after researching and analyzing the characteristics of the ultra-low orbit environment, a construction technology of the high-resolution optical detection system for the ultra-low orbit was proposed. The overall structure of the high-resolution optical detection system was designed with the imaging module, the radiation calibration module, and the control module as the main modules. The working characteristics and basic tasks of the main modules were analyzed, and the capability requirements and construction direction of the ultra-low orbit detection system were given. The research results of this paper will provide a certain reference for the construction of the high-resolution optical detection system for the ultra-low orbit.
